What sound API are you using?
i'm using.....nothing now :P

i need some suggestions because i don't know what api is best for buffered input and buffered output.....
what api do you suggest me?? :P
fmod would probably be the easiest to use. It also has a bunch of sample code which shows you how to set up the microphone.
You can find it at http://www.fmod.org/
OpenAL!!
Holy crap I started a blog - http://unobvious.typepad.com/
fmod or openAL???? :P
Well, FMOD is a nice clean OO design. OpenAL looks like OpenGL. So, really, a lot of this depends on what you like.

You should also note that OpenAL is free, and so is FMOD for non-commercial use (I think... you should double check), but if you want to charge for your game you will need to pay licensing costs for FMOD. They do have a cheap hobbyist license, though, if you ever actually charge for your game.
I never used OpenAL, but I used fmod and it really rocks! There are few libraries so powerful and so easy to use... AFAIK it was free also for commercial use at the time, so perhaps you should give a look to OpenAL.
can i save the input in a buffer and then send it to another pc so he can play it? :) (with FMOD)
